SoS: October 5, 2015 - October 11, 2015

Razor: Gillette 195 Fat Boy (f1) 1960 (5) (3)
Brush: Rubberset 400 #3 WD 24/50 Silvertip (Jedi Lightsaber)
Mug: Old Spice 1985 Cobalt Blue
Cream: Geo. F. Trumper's Coconut cream
Blade: Feather (1)
Post shave: Thayers Cucumber WH, Jack Black balm, Old Spice Lime original Shulton AS Frosted Glass 1960s
Put some Trumper's Coconut into my favorite OS mug. My Jedi Lightsaber with its nice backbone whipped up some nice warm lather. The soft brush felt good on my face and I really like the way the handle feels in my hand. My FB is still my favorite razor and as usual, made quick work in 2 passes WTG XTG. A little touchup on my neck ATG on 3 and done. I had enough lather left over for another pass. The WH felt good, nice and cool. After cleanup some JB and when it dried, some Vintage Old Spice Lime from the 1960s. Have a good one y'all!

 

Day 11 of l'Occitane Cade and man I really like this soap. Also day 7 on my long-comb NEW and Polsilver SI blade. The blade was still feeling pretty good and I could have pushed it longer but I'm getting such good shaves with that combo I'm going to put a Personna Lab in the NEW tomorrow and see how the blades compare. I'm using the NEW with a Star DE handle and they go great together too. Been finishing up with Clubman the past few days.

 

You gotta love ebay!

 

Beautiful brush!

 

This is one of my favorite backgrounds my friend. Lovely!

 

Nice looking razor. Seeing these beautiful repeaters is making the wait for mine unbearable

 

My wife (from STL) thought your comment was funny....

 

Thank u sir!

 

I went through that phase......then it was Vetiver....then it was.......j/k
BayRum is still one of my favorites and the scent I have the most of.

 

Well she knows all about baseball heaven then.

 

Thanks. I like to play with the few features my photo app offers.

 

Oh yeah. I here about it often.

 

OCtober 10 - Schick Saturday
Schick B2 / Schick (4)
Arko Stick
Semogue 1520 Boar
Every Man Jack Face Lotion
Old Spice ASB & Cologne.

The B2 is a great shaving machine. The Colonel got it correct in 1926. All of my shaves from here on in will be compared to today's result.

 

Im hoping my B2 will arrive in time to finish off OCtober with. Yours looks amazing for 90 yrs old.

 

Lol I'm sure you do. The Cardinals have been dealing with a bit of hatred the past few years too. We're the National League Yankees. All we do is win and the haters hate. When I moved here 10 years ago I had no idea how big a deal they are here. You soon learn.

 

Saturday Awesome
Have a wonderful wedding day

I used the B&M Awesome aftershave from the Maggard's meet up today. It's a very nice floral.
I knew quickly that the 7 o'clock blade was done, so I switched to a new Voskhod. I got a very close shave, but a little irritation on my neck this time. It was much more short lived than the smooth feeling. This was a pleasing return to Lavanille.

Prep: WSP Matterhorn PSO
Soap: B&M Lavanille
Brush: HIS
Razor: Der Futur
Blade: Voskhod (1)
AS: B&M Awesome

My shave was on the harsh side today but extremely close. I'll take the credit for the harshness because I altered my preshave with both my face and the razor. Ohio walnut for the brush handle, I picked up a hunk when I visited my daughter on vacation. Have a good one.

 

Thanks, Primo!

 

not at all. I actually thought it smelled similar to Truefitt&Hill 1805.

 

Saturdays shave.

Another day with the shavette. I still don't know what I'm doing but it's fun and the results aren't too bad.
